Synesthésie Strange Days is a unisex fragrance released in 2025 by the Italian brand Synesthésie.
The fragrance is presented as an eau de parfum and is designed for those who enjoy expressive compositions with an oriental mood, a distinctive character and an impressive presence.
The name Strange Days seems to set the right emotional tone: this is not an everyday fragrance for moments when you want to blend into the background, but a rich olfactory statement with a vivid personality.
The composition belongs to the oriental and floral families, combining sensuality, spicy depth and a refined woody texture.
The first impression of the fragrance is dense, warm and multifaceted.
It combines resinous expressiveness, spicy energy and a soft floral facet, so Strange Days may be perceived differently depending on the skin’s temperature and the surrounding setting.
Its powerful sillage makes this release especially noticeable.
It is well suited to evenings, cool weather, special occasions and situations when the fragrance should become a complete part of the look rather than a barely perceptible accent.
The fragrance unfolds most naturally in autumn and winter, although lovers of rich compositions can wear it at other times of the year as well.
The fragrance follows no strict gender conventions: this is a unisex eau de parfum designed for both women and men.
It will particularly appeal to those looking for an unconventional, atmospheric and distinctive fragrance with an oriental temperament, as well as to anyone who enjoys bold combinations of spicy, floral, woody and balsamic notes.
Because of its high intensity, it is best to approach it cautiously at first.
The available information does not specify exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing, so it is best to determine the optimal dosage individually: test the fragrance on the skin, observe how it develops and only then increase the number of applications.
Synesthésie is an Italian fragrance brand, and Strange Days reflects its interest in emotional, expressive compositions that unfold not through a single note but through a complex interplay of contrasts.
However, the perfumer behind this release has not been named, so it would be inaccurate to associate the fragrance with a specific signature style.
No other concentrations of Strange Days are listed in the available data.
For further exploration of a similar mood, consider Tom Ford Sahara Noir, as well as The Spirit of Dubai Turath and Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute.
They may appeal to lovers of warm, rich and oriental-leaning fragrances, although each one develops in its own way.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes of Strange Days open with bitter orange, green calamus, cypress, and labdanum.
A fresh citrus accent is immediately framed by resinous green and slightly dry nuances, creating a striking opening.
The heart of the composition features cinnamon, incense, jasmine, and rose.
Spiciness blends with the smoky, balsamic nuance of incense and floral softness, allowing the fragrance to maintain a balance between austerity and sensuality.
The base is composed of balsamic notes, benzoin, grey amber, labdanum, and oud.
This is a deep, warm, long-lasting finish with a dense resinous texture, a woody-ambery accent, and a pronounced oriental character.
The full palette also includes citrus, green, spicy, floral, white-floral, woody, balsamic, and animalic nuances.
On the skin, the composition moves from a contrasting fresh opening to a spicy floral heart and a rich woody-resinous base.
